2023 Yamaha Xmax 300 - My Mini Ownership Review 2 Months Later!

Just thought I'd put together a mini ownership review on the Yamaha Xmax 300 plus how it compares to the Honda forza 350

Thanks for the mini review, I’m considering getting the new 2023 Xmax 300, I’m getting bit Older and haven’t been riding for over 20yrs,
i never thought i would consider a Scooter but now I’m looking forward to riding again …

The best way to eliminate the buffeting from the screen is remove it and replace it with the sport screen. This will make your ride more enjoyable and alot quieter, and as a bonus will make it more stable in side winds 😀. Regarding the rear shocks, wait until you've got 2000+mile's on it before thinking of replacing with after market. Most scooter suspension is hard when brand new. Same with the seat they improve after a few miles as well. Glad you did an update video 😀

I'm going to test ride the 2023 xmax 300 at Ultimate Yamaha Springwood, Brisbane today. I've learnt a lot from your comparison videos and your summary on what best suits you, so a big thanks.
Having ridden smaller cc's motorcycles when living in the land of the Enfields I gravitated towards sportier motorcycles, but the aging man in me reasoned in on a scooter.
Will be using it primarily for commute from Garden City to the CBD. Hope to someday bump 🛵🛵 into you, not literally 😂. Thanks again.

Great review Warro.
I have a Ducati and Triumph but of late I'm considering a scooter to add to or replace one of them. To me the Yamaha xmax 300 is the happy medium with enough versatility either urban or highway. I also think that scooters are not only cool but very practical as well.

G'day Warro, l have never rode a scooter and always thought they were just for putting around town, my thoughts have change as l can see that this mode of transport suits a selection of rider, and the machines are looking more sporty and streamlined, cheers mate, keep this on of the rough tracks, Neil.

Great honest model year comparison by someone who could do so firsthand.

[johnrocker]

Brave on the best road Australia can offer!

Geeze Warro that bit of road looks like some over here in NZ 🇳🇿 after Cyclone 🌀⛈️🌬️ Gabrielle.
Scooters are fun ain't they.

Hi nice vid review. Just wondering how it goes at 110 KMPH and if you got much more for overtaking ?
Thanks

I've never owned or riden a bike with a TFT dash, what's it like in bright sunshine.
Beautiful lake background but what's happened to that road.

Thanks for the review, I've been looking for 2023 model videos but there's not many around yet. The seat on the 2023 is supposed to be narrower making it feel a bit lower, have you noticed much of a difference? If you could get the 22 at a discount vs the 23 at full price, do you think it's worth the extra for the screen and new seat?

Nice review, Warro. The only scooter I've owned was a Vespa 125, back in 1962! There's been lots of motorcycles between then and now of course, and I'm still riding. Given that I'm 77, I'm starting to wonder if the Xmax might not be a bad bet for me, due to comfort and weight. I almost never go off-road.

Nice little scooter Warro. Hate to be the first person blasting along that road before washout found.

[steveone]

Where is that bit of road ? Ill know where to slow down a bit .

[brianmcgowan]

Could you tell me if your back gets sore while riding. I’m 6 ft 200lbs. 67 Yr old.

[MarkLoris]

Heres the best thing about the 23 model compared to earlier models
THE headlights are very bright and they have a WIDE BEAM which allows you to see all of road in front of for night driving UNLIKE PREVIOUS years were horrible ...just ask antone that had both !!!! That alone makes 23 worth buying rather than previous year models

[dondle]

Good info, think I will just stick with motorbikes.

[MrAndrew]

I thought you'd got rid of everything except the Enfields?

[annonymous]

How much did you sell the older model for ? 7k ?
